Berlin, Sept. l0.-In official cir
Giles it is believed that Prince Bis
marck has finally decided to present
4 bill in the Reichstag increasing
the duties on corn. Party demands,
supported by numberless petitions
from all parts of the country, will
force the Government TO introduce

hamper negotiations for treaty Of
commerce with Austria and lead to
further protective measures in favor
of other than agrarian interests.

In the House of Commons to-day
Mr.. Matthews, Home Secretary,
said the calamity at Exter showed
the necessity Of legislation in the
matter, and the Government intend
ed to deal with the subject.
The inquest over the victims was
begun to-day. 1T was impossible to
identify many of the bodies. The
jury simply viewed the remains. A
public funeral will be held to-mor.
row.
The row renewed, however, and
reinforcements of police, who had
been driven up from the barracks,
fred into the crowd. One man was
killed and several others wounded.
One of the wounded has since died.
The police next charged and dis
persed the crowd. Labouchere was
a witness TO the whole scene from
carriage. He asked Magistrate Sea-
grave if the meeting might be held
elsewhere without molestation. Sea-
grave replied that the meeting might
be held anywhere outside the town.
Then a Constable came up and
spoke to Seagrave. The latter i'm
mediately corrected himself, declin-
ing 10 allow a meeting anywhere.
Seagrave went into the hotel, when
the police fred. 1t Is not known
who ordered them to fire. Dillon,
Father O'Callaghan and Father
O'Connell followed the police, and
entered the barracks with them.
The priests were put out.
Dillon, who was inside during the
firing, says much confusion pre-
vailed, nobody seeming in command.
Labouchere arrived later and asked
the inspector 10 ascertain who fired.
The inspector refused to make any
such inquiry. A youth has been
found who says he Can identify the
Constable who killed Riordan. DR..
Fenton expressed the opinion that
Riordan had not been killed by
bullet, but by a blow ON the head
with the muZzle of carbine. Fifty
four Constables have been treated
for slight Injuries.

publishes letter written by Prince
Ferdinand, expressing delight at his
enthusiastic reception in Bulgaria.
The Prince says he believes the
people of "the country are thor
oughly attached to him. He COM
plains of the opposition of the thrt e
great Powers, and regards their W,
against him as unjust. He hopes 10
rescue Bulgaria from the crisis in
which she is placed, and is aesolved
TO do his duty, whatever happens.
London, Sept. 12.-The Michels-
town tragedy has practically rovo-
lutlonized the situation, and the de-
bate tonight, instead of being
formal and colorless, will unite the
Liberal and Irish parties in fierce
denunciation of the Government,
which has needlessly and wantonly
identified itself, with the act of its
police. General Butler has refused
to keep his resignation any longer
in suspense, and his withdrawal to-
day will, no doubt, be practical
testimony to his disgust. The news
paper correspondence to-day proves
the allegation of the Irish members
that nothing less than murder is in
the question, and that when the
police fired only small knot of
persons were around the barracks.
1t is also shown that they fred not

corner where few on-lookers were
gathered. This disposes of Bafour's
suggestion that they fred in self
